A businessman named Piyush Jain from Kanpur was arrested after a 120-hour raid by a combined team of Income Tax and the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI). As per the latest data, cash worth nearly 300 crores was recovered during the raid. 

Officials involved in the raid had to call for around 20 cash counting machines as well as a team of SBI officials to count the money. Other things that were seized included documents of properties (two in Dubai) and gold with foreign tags. The counting concluded on Tuesday, 28th December.

Piyush Jain was leading a simple life, as per his neighbors. A neighbor revealed that he would travel by foot or on his scooter. He would attend functions wearing simple clothes, wouldn’t indulge in other’s affairs, and kept a low profile.

Piyush Jain started as a salesman in a Mumbai-based company. Having a master’s degree in Chemistry, he then started making compounds for soap, detergents, etc. As he grew up, he started making edible compounds in tobacco and gutkha products. Eventually, he started his perfume business. 

As told by the DGGI, the story of how Piyush Jain was caught is an interesting one. The revelation began when DGGI decided to take action in a matter related to the non-payment of tobacco and pan masala which were kept in four trucks.

The trucks belonged to Ganpati Road Carrier. The DGGI then, through the trucks, reached the Shikhar Pan Masala factory where he found more than 200 fake invoices in the name of Ganpati Road Carrier. Shikhar factory then admitted to owing more than 3 crores of tax. 

It was then revealed that they had a partner named Odocam Industries. Here’s where things get interesting. Piyush Jain was the owner of Odocam Industries. Officials raided the registered address which was Jain’s residence in Anandpuri, Kanpur. 

According to the DGGI, more than Rs 177 crore was seized from this house by the officials. After this, the officials raided the factory and Jain’s Kannauj residence where they recovered Rs 17 crore in cash, 23 kg of gold, and sandalwood oil worth Rs 6 crore. All of this was hidden in an underground tank.

Piyush Jain was then arrested on the night of 26th December, 40 hours after the raid on his premises. Meanwhile, a political war has begun between BJP and SP where each other are blaming for the tax evasion by Piyush Jain.

Controversial ‘Annapoorani’ Sparks FIR for Alleged Promotion of Love Jihad; Contrasts Netflix’s Refusal of ‘The Kerala Story’

Siddhant Mohite, Mumbai:

Nayanthara’s milestone 75th film, ‘Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food,’ has landed in hot water as an FIR has been filed against the movie by the Mumbai police. A complaint lodged at LT Marg Police Station alleges that the film promotes Love Jihad, citing a scene where actor Jai makes a controversial statement about Lord Ram’s dietary preferences, causing hurt to religious sentiments. This development comes after the movie’s digital premiere on Netflix faced criticism, with the Hindu IT Cell filing a formal complaint with Mumbai police, accusing the film of misrepresenting Valmiki’s Ramayana and criticizing Lord Ram.

Directed by Nilesh Krishnaa, ‘Annapoorani’ features Nayanthara, Jai, and Sathyaraj in lead roles, hitting theaters on December 1, 2023. Despite the movie’s milestone status, it received a lukewarm response at the box office, grossing Rs 5 crore.

According to reports from The Republic, the complaint alleges that a particular scene in the movie portrays actor Jai asserting that Lord Ram was a meat eater, leading to an offense against religious sentiments. The controversy intensified after the film’s digital release on the OTT platform Netflix.

The narrative of ‘Annapoorani: The Goddess of Food’ revolves around a girl aspiring to become a chef. As the daughter of a Hindu temple pujari, she faces challenges in preparing non-vegetarian food. The movie sparked controversy for a scene depicting her performing the Islamic prayer Namaz with a scarf covering her head before a cooking competition. Nayanthara’s character in the film recalls a friend’s comment that her Biryani tasted exceptional when prepared after performing Namaz. This scene has stirred controversy, as it is seen as offensive to religious sentiments.

Adding to the unfolding controversy is the fact that Netflix, a prominent OTT platform, chose to release ‘Annapoorani,’ despite its contentious content. This decision has raised eyebrows, especially in light of the platform’s refusal to release the movie ‘The Kerala Story,’ which exposed Love Jihad, further amplifying concerns within the Hindu community.

The Mumbai police’s decision to file an FIR against ‘Annapoorani’ reflects the seriousness of the allegations, and as this situation evolves, Mumbai Uncensored will continue to monitor and report on developments surrounding this controversial film.

Corruption Scandal Unveiled: BMC Officials Accused of Siphoning Off Crores Meant for Laborers in Mumbai’s Cleanliness Schemes

Siddhant Mohite, Mumbai Uncensored, 7th December 2023:

Mumbai Uncensored has unearthed a shocking case of corruption involving high-ranking officials in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The scandal, exposed by social worker Mr. Rameez Raja, reveals a systematic embezzlement of funds intended for laborers engaged in the Swachhata Yojna, Motor Loading, Manning & Mopping Scheme.

In 2007, BMC initiated these schemes, employing laborers through registered NGOs. Alarming details emerged regarding their paltry daily wages, which ranged from Rs. 141 in early 2007 to a marginal increase of Rs. 144 to Rs. 146 in 2008. Concerns over unjust wages prompted BMC’s standing committee to pass resolutions in 2010 and 2011, specifying minimum wages for laborers through circulars dated 30.4.2011 and 2.9.2021.

However, Mumbai Uncensored’s investigation reveals a nefarious plot within the BMC’s Western Suburbs (Zone 3). SWM Executive Engineer Mr. Chandan Shive, along with a network of SWM officials, allegedly manipulated funds. Instead of ensuring fair compensation to NGOs and, consequently, laborers, these officials diverted a substantial portion—estimated between 20-22 crores—for personal gain.

Trusted sources affirm that Mr. Rameez Raja, a vigilant social worker, has sent a detailed letter to the Chief Minister outlining the corruption. Raja emphasizes the urgent need for a thorough investigation and the suspension of implicated BMC officials. The funds, he insists, rightfully belong to the laborers who toiled diligently to maintain the city’s cleanliness.

Mumbai Uncensored has obtained a copy of a letter from Mr. Hemant Sawant, additional deputy commissioner of the Anti-Corruption Department, Mumbai. Addressed to BMC Commissioner Mr. Iqbal Singh Chahal, the letter lists multiple complaints received from citizens, the Maharashtra Government, and the Director General of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Despite these grave allegations, no visible actions have been taken by the BMC.

This revelation raises serious questions about the integrity of BMC officials and their commitment to addressing corruption within their ranks. Mumbai Uncensored will continue to investigate and report on this matter to ensure accountability and justice for the laborers who deserve their rightful compensation.
